Steve Hinrichs was kind enough to send a copy of the camp's brochure from the 1960s

The text of this brochure is especially interesting for a number of reasons. First, its statement of the camp's mission and purposes tie it firmly to the earlier twentieth century progressive education ideas and practices from which we know this and similar summer camps to have emerged. Second, its emphasis on "township" governance -- what today would be called "civil society" -- both links it to the extracurricular activities used by progressive educators to impart the civic values and skills which, according to Robert Putnam in Bowling Alone: The Collapse and Revival of American Community (2000), created the "long civic generation" of the period 1930-1960, and to contemporary efforts to rediscover ways of reviving American community.
